Considering using a cruciform column to achieve a special moment frame in each direction. Has anyone done this before or know if this is permitted?

Looking at AISC 358 I do not see anything that says it is not allowed, so would this be governed by the reduced beam section criteria and design approach?

Thanks in advance for any help.
